Starwest is pleased to offer you Burdock root as part of our wide variety of organic herbs and natural herbs. Burdock root, which is also called Arctium lappa, Lappa and edible burdock, has all of the following useful properties: antibiotic, anti-fungal, diaphoretic, diuretic and antipyretic. It is commonly used as a mild laxative and diuretic because it doesn’t cause side effects such as irritation and nausea. Externally, the leaves have also been used for benign skin tumors and may help with knee joint swelling that is unresponsive to medicine.
